Ok, I worked this one out. Firstly, thanks for your reply, Kevin.

Had an in-depth look at the code and as my <td> tags include <p> tags, the last row/last column didn't have a <p> tag included in the cell. Once I included one, the <table> and <p> tag were separated.

(sorry if this has been posted, couldn't find any reference to it)

I have a <table> followed by a <p> tag.

Note: The spacing difference between the <table> and <p> tags.

I can't seem to find any differences in the code (plus, there is a small spacing difference in ...

I'm sure this is simple (although I thought I'd set it up correctly):

I have a tag with the name: p.tableCaption
It has mc-auto-number-format as: {b}Table {chapnum}-{n+}: {/b}

What I want to have is a chapter with multiple topics displaying:
Table 1-1 (first table)
Table 1-2
Table 1-3
Table 1 ...

If these suggestions don't work, what I did was to create a new TOC (for testing purposes, just do three or four topics initally that you know were causing you grief).

Really?

Good post that. Learnt a lot.

Thanks to you both.

Docuwil: I think this only applies to the outside border and not any mapped areas I make inside the image. Although there is a <map> css reference that I was hoping would work but it didn't.

Adrian: I have Capture 3 and for the first time had a look around it. We currently ...

Hi,

Can I put a visible border around areas of an image that have been mapped (in Flare)? I can obviously do it outside of Flare in a graphic app (or through SnagIt).

Thanks,

So, even though you have French Canadian neighbours, you still get it wrong?

We get the entre right down under.

So you are saying it got worse using 4.2?
When you saw worse it sounds like it's horrendously bad - which it isn't. It's just slightly increased times. That said, I've built a couple of others since this morning's post and it seems the build time is comparable (my release notes seem faster), but ...

I noticed that the creation of PDFs was slightly slower (over our network) than 4.1 and the file size is slightly larger too (one project was 2.5 MB in 4.1, went to 2.9MB, the other was 500kb and went to 650kb).

I noticed there are file size changes in the HELP VIEWER v4.2 API. Is there a list of changes for this?

Thanks,

Thanks Richard. I've submitted it.

Cheers,

Why is it that after building (then viewing) the DotNet output that you can't continue to work in Flare (alt-Tabbing between the two to make any changes which can be done with CHM / PDF outputs)?

Oddly (or not), yes, I can open up said DotNet output separately and continue to work in Flare ...

In regards to point 6, can the installation engineer not just include all contents of a specific folder? I know that we did this with INNO Setup using WebHelp locally. Worked fine and the install script had not to be changed ever for any help related issues.

This was my first thought too, Ramon ...

Hello

I just got this message back from my manager and developers in regards to rolling out Dot Net Help in our applications.

The following is a list of items preventing us from using Dot Net Help in the short-term (even though all of us are really keen to include it in our apps). If anybody has ...

Its not possible to currently track Changes, but what some users have done is that make a copy of the Orignal topic, so when they get the reviewed one back, they can compare them, before or after they accept the changes.

We've just done some testing with x-edit review 1.1 and whilst we'll ...

Loaded Flare and up came SP1 for Flare 4.1. This takes it up to 4.1.40 (mine was originally on 4.1.19). The new one is dated 15/12/2008 (12/15/2008 for those who get the dates the wrong way around ).

Can't remember the list of stuff it fixes but we'll see how this one goes.

I'm running Vista 64 bit / Office 2007 and Flare v4 definitely sees a performance hit throughout the day. Restarting doesn't do much, rebooting does.

Hi,
Maybe it helps you:
I use Vista 32bit.
I defined just 1 header frame and on top of that I used decoration frames. I admit that it was a little bit difficult to find out.
I hope it works for you too.

Thanks. Unfortunately I was only able to add one decoration frame to the header. Definitely a ...

Are you using Vista 64-bit? I haven't tried it on a 32-bit o/s yet.

Hi, I'm hoping somebody can help me out with Page Layout problems that I'm having.

Note: I'm using Vista 64-bit.

Aim:
I would like to setup a Page Layout for PDF output that contains three frame headers and three frame footers.

Add the metric system (international system of units) too

Hey Kevin, thanks for that.

We run agile development where we do currently support different versions of our software (as an example, everybody gets v4.0 but only the agile clients (the ones who pay the big bills) get v4.5). You're completely right about not knowing what versions some of our ...

This must be simple yet I'm just not seeing it.

(we often, unfortunately, have a number of different versions of our software on the go - both major and minor revisions).

What I want to do is basically have a line in a topic that says:
1. Uninstall Software [insert version x.x]
...and then ...

I've installed it and am having a look at the 74 page what's new guide. There's some really wonderful additions. Looking forward to trying a lot of them out (zoom.... I love zoom!!!) hah-hah
